AKON FACES CRIMINAL CHARGES OVER FAN TOSS: Woman says she got a concussion when singer hurled 15-year-old boy.

Akon is due in New York's Fishkill Town Court this morning in connection with a June 3rd concert in which he allegedly threw a 15-year-old boy off the stage.

The 34-year-old singer will be arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, according to a news release Thursday from Police Chief Donald Williams.

As previously reported, Akon stopped his concert at Fishkill, New York-based WSPK's annual KFEST concert and demanded to know who had thrown an object onto the stage. The audience pointed out the 15-year-old spectator, who was ushered onto the stage by security. Akon then lifted him into the air and flung him back into the crowd. Click here to see footage.


The boy landed on Abby Rosa, who told the Poughkeepsie Journal that she suffered a concussion from the impact. She said she has hired a lawyer and spoken to Fishkill police.
